you can definitely not get away with this - 3.45 is the lowest that can go to a 3.5, either keep your GPA or round down to 3.4

M&I guidance is from when BG checks were not strict, things have changed and you will get your offer pulled at BB/EB for this kind of "rounding"

 

It isn't about agreeing or disagreeing - it happened to a kid I know at a BB, this is part of the reason for background checks. The MM I'm going to doesn't verify GPA for summer interns so you could get away with it here.

 

It's not about some philosophical concept of "earning", it's about math. 0.05 rounds up to 0.1. anything less rounds down. There are no brownie points for handicapping yourself or not understanding math, just keep within the bounds of reason (you can't round 3.5 to 4) and the literal bounds of accuracy. Give them your GPA to the level of specificity they ask (e.g., 3.45 rounds to 3.5, but not to 3.50).
